This article was a majestic prose that was popular across the country at that time, and almost all young people who could read were proud to be able to recite this majestic prose.Inspired by this article, Li Yuanhong drove the revolutionary army out of Wuchang and down to Hankou to attack Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang's Northern Army. Duan and Feng were obviously weak and forced to retreat. Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang were furious, and they also summoned the three armies to swear an oath, and hired gunmen to write super gorgeous articles. During the swearing-in session, Feng Guozhang burst into tears, crying choked up, saying: I, Feng Guozhang, was originally a commoner, with no talent, no virtue, no ability, no benefit to the country, and no benefit to the people. for the Baron.Holy Majesty Hong En, Kepei Sun and Moon, how can you not call me Feng Guozhang, and swear to repay him to the death?

The Beiyang Army counterattacked aggressively, and the sound of guns on the Hankou battlefield shocked the world. In this shocking bloody battle, Wu Tingfang, the diplomatic representative of the Central Military Government in the South, and Tang Shaoyi, the Minister of Post and Communications, the representative of the North, the first batch of young children who were sent overseas by the Qing Dynasty to study in the United States, finally met. It was December 18th of the Xinhai Year. The venue is located in the City Hall of Nanjing Road in the British Concession of Shanghai. Peace negotiations have finally begun.

Yu Zhijiang, who was the secretary of the Southern League at the time, recalled the scene at that time and said: ... This peace negotiation is a big smoke screen. The telegrams about the meeting are sent during the day and sent at night, which are completely different. They are two different things.At that time, I was in charge of telegrams, plain codes, and passwords for the meeting.The meeting during the day is to make a fuss, discuss the issue of the armistice, and stipulate how many miles you give up and how many miles I give up.Telegrams sent out during the day are mutual exclusion of the other party's violation of the agreement, and so on.Important issues were discussed at night: the issue of the abdication of the Qing emperor, the issue of preferential treatment after the abdication, the issue of who would come after the abdication, the issue of foreign recognition, and so on.So the telegram sent out at night is the real content of the meeting, and these contents are not made public during the meeting...

Understood.No wonder the big fat boy Li Yuanhong was aggressive, issued such a vicious call to action, and personally went into battle to direct.The Beiyang Army and the Revolutionary Army had long ago negotiated the division of territory in Shanghai, and the seemingly lively advance and retreat was just a deception. Who is this play for? On the surface it was for the imperial court, but in fact it was performed for the common people. On the surface, it was staged for the court to see because Yuan Shikai started two negotiations at the same time: between Yuan Shikai and the revolutionary army, they would try to contact each other on the following three bottom lines: (1) The Qing court abdicated. (2) Reconstruction of the Republic of China. (3) Yuan Shikai became the president of the Republic of China.On the other hand, Yuan Shikai also secretly reached the following agreement with the imperial court: (1) The Qing emperor abdicated. (2) Release of Wang Jingwei. (3) Do your best on the side of the revolutionary army and strive for preferential treatment for the abdicated Qing court.

In other words, the martial arts show with guns and guns in Wuchang was jointly planned by Yuan Shikai, Li Yuanhong, and the Bingjun Xian faction. The imperial court was also one of the parties involved in this negotiation because of the general trend. Only the common people in China are kept in the dark. Why keep the common people in the dark?Can you get the common people out of the drum? This matter...whether the common people are kept in the dark or get out of the dark does not depend on Yuan Shikai, nor does it depend on the fat boy Li Yuanhong, but on the people themselves.Because the openness of people's wisdom is the people's own business, and others cannot do it for them.The people who Minzhi refused to let go must have kept themselves in the dark, and it would be difficult for you to find him out.But once the wisdom of the people is wide open, the people have wisdom and ideas, and they will naturally be outside the drum. At this time, if you want to push them into the drum, it will not be an easy task.

All in all, the situation at that time was like this. The military strength of both sides in Wuchang, according to the configuration on the Shanghai negotiating table, you advance and retreat, you come and go, and the fight is exhilarating and lively.After performing like this for a while, the curtain call is almost ready. But at this moment, an unexpected news came from Nanjing: The Republic of China has been established, and the Chinese people have stood up! Sun Yat-sen, with an absolute majority of votes in Nanjing, took the crown of President of the Republic of China ahead of Yuan Shikai.Although this grand president is only temporary, it is nothing less than earth-shattering news for the common people who are still kept in the dark.

The dynasty has changed. In an instant, Wuchang, Shanghai, and Beijing were completely silent.Yuan Shikai was dumbfounded, Li Yuanhong was stunned, Tang Shaoyi was dumbfounded, and Wu Tingfang was dumbfounded. How did this happen?Wasn't it agreed that Yuan Shikai would be the president?So this negotiation, isn't it playing Yuan Shikai?
